Description

DIY ghost garland made with white fabric draped over cotton balls, clipped onto twine with mini clothespins for Halloween decoration.


Ingredients

  • White fabric (muslin or cheesecloth)
  • Cotton balls (one per ghost for the head)
  • Black felt stickers, foam cutouts, or marker (for faces)
  • Twine or jute string (for garland)
  • Mini clothespins
  • Glue
  • Scissors

Instructions

  1. Make the Ghost – Cut your fabric into squares (about 8–10 inches). Place a cotton ball in the center of each square and drape the fabric over it so it flows down like a ghost’s body. Lightly glue the cotton ball in place.
  2. Create the Face – Cut or draw small eyes and a mouth from black felt, foam, or paper, then attach to the ghost’s head.
  3. Attach the Ghosts – Clip each ghost at the top with a mini clothespin, fastening them to a long piece of twine.
  4. Hang and Display – Drape your finished garland across a mantel, shelf, or doorway. Add pumpkins, candles, or greenery nearby for extra seasonal charm.
